Once we’ve done a few washes using your Ariel PODS® and witnessed the outstanding stain removal we get even in a cold wash, our main task will be to share the news with others too. Here's how:

Share your TESCO coupons with friends

Share your TESCO coupons with friends

Catch up with your friends and family and share your personal experiences with them about Ariel PODS® and the cold wash. Don't forget to hand out your TESCO money-off coupons so they too can save on their washing machine energy bills while getting brilliant clean and stain removal.

Super excited for the challenge. I literally put 3-4 washes on a week between toddler food stains and smelly gym clothes I’m excited to see the results of these pods and being able to wash at a lower temp to save money on all these washes!

BeccaJ27 • 1 year ago

Just done my first wash with the new Ariel Pods, wow the fragrance is lovely and fresh, clothes out drying on the radiators so my whole house smells of fresh laundry! Clothes look clean and colours vibrant too!

Denise8836 • 1 year ago

Mumofeight • 1 year ago

Done a wash on 30 deg, smells fantastic. Going to try it on some white washing.

DivaDiva • 1 year ago

Really impressed with the wash quality of these Ariel capsules. I have the washing machine on at least 5 times a week so when I go to Tesco's on Friday I will be stocking up on them, using my money off vouchers. I posted a couple of vouchers through my neighbours door today. I'm sure she will be very appreciative.

Gems0081 • 1 year ago

Torrie1c1 • 1 year ago

Fab packaging, the cardboard box is a great idea. Lovely scent and clothes came out really clean at 20degree wash

Kimboqueen12 • 1 year ago

So excited to get started and be a part of the team!

KML73 • 1 year ago

Love these and love that I can wash at a lower temperature with great results. The product design is great and the pods smell amazing.

Tasha1728 • 1 year ago

Got mine a couple of days ago. They smell amazing even opening the package I could smell them. Clean really well even on low temperatures and with babies and young children (who as we know go out of their way to get messy 😂).

maxjdb • 1 year ago

I got mine a couple of days ago and they smell amazing even opening the package I could smell them. They wash brilliantly even on 20 degrees! My washing smells gorgeous and my clothes are clean and fresh. I will definitely recommend these and I can't wait to tell everyone about them and share my money off coupons

Grubellizzy84 • 1 year ago

Since I normally buy the floral scented detergents I wasn’t sure I would like these but having done my first wash (on 20° I might add) it smells so clean. Very pleasantly surprised so far

Grubellizzy84 • 1 year ago

Also love the cardboard packaging.

LightningNCL • 1 year ago

Thank you for choosing me for this challenge. It's definitely going to be a challenge as I never believed in cold wash and was more than sceptical. I hope Ariel All in 1 Pods reassure and prove me wrong 😊

Loopy61 • 1 year ago

To have clean, fresh washing in addition to using less energy and being able to lower my energy bills!

Bev1961 • 1 year ago

I'm having the best time ever I've washed and washed and washed I'm just loving how clean everything is my lounge smells beautiful with the smell of laundry on my clothes airers and even when they are dry they still smell beautiful I've given out coupons and my friends have bought the ariel pods and are loving them too. I'm really pleased at the thought of saving money on my electricity as the washer is on such a low temperature so all good. Can't wait for the better weather so that I can do lots of bedding and curtains. Thankyou so much savvy circle for giving me this opportunity to try out this amazing product 😊

halelady • 1 year ago

saviing money using cold wash and still getttting good resukts works for me.

office3342 • 1 year ago

Received my pack thank you. Celebrated with a gentle jog followed by a 30 degrees wash of my running kit...Loved the fresh smell as the kit dried on the indoors airer. Looking forward to the next wash probably more than the next jog!

Mand667 • 1 year ago

Terminatrix • 1 year ago

I have used the pods a couple of times now and the biological cleaning action is immense!

Serenajane • 1 year ago

So happy with this. I always wash on 30 but can't seem to achieve the kind of smell this hives and keeping my clothes white and stain free. Love this!

cathcarp • 1 year ago

Got a wash on now. Can't wait to see the results.

Lisanemilyx • 1 year ago

So happy to be picked and be apart off.

xine • 1 year ago

I usually wash clothing at 30 degrees, so decided to try cold. My machine has a very slow spin on this cycle, so I had to re-set it, which took longer than the usual quick wash. As with the previous usage of the pod, the laundry came out clean, soft and fresh-smelling. However whilst putting the clothes away I found a gobbet of what must be the un-dissolved casing on a sock and a pyjama cuff. It was like glue. I have used a Proctor and Gamble powder in a cardboard box for many years. Because my water is probably the softest in the country I adjust the quantity, and it lasts for ages, so is exceedingly economical. I stopped using fabric conditioner when I read up on how environmentally unfriendly it was. I don't think that Ariel All in One Pods can compete with my laundry regime. Sorry

Dawneeeeee • 1 year ago

The remainder of the vouchers, I left in reception to our block of flats, and they were snapped up!
Yesterday, I used the new Aerial pods for the first time. I have dexterity problems from arthritis, and the first thing I noticed was the box was a hell of a lot easier to open than the plastic boxes I usually buy!

I did two loads of washing at 40 degrees. The washing came up clean, no better, no worse than using my previous liquid capsules. The scent when opening the washing machine was very pleasant, but sadly, after tumble drying the washing, you could not smell it. So the second load I used the capsule. together with my separate fabric softener, which smelt lovely once out of the drier.

mollyandgem • 1 year ago

Today did a dark wash on 30 degrees, and unfortunately did see on my black jeans when I went to peg out blue smears and slightly soapy accumulation on them. I took them in and rinsed them under the tap,but wonder if the outer material is not dispersing sufficiently in cooler water. Otherwise washed well, and came in from the line with a new fresh smell.

Carolsaunders • 1 year ago

Been using the pods for nearly two weeks now and very impressed with the whiteness of my clothes and they smell amazing. What also impressed me was the box which is childproof as it took me a while to work out how to get it open. Hopefully my electricity bill will also have gone down as I am now washing at 30 degrees

coollager • 1 year ago

Late to the game but have opened the box and excited to be part of this project whooo hooo

Dannyluis • 1 year ago

Still enjoying the results and especially the smell. Unfortunately after one wash found that the pod had not completely dissolved. Every other time this has not happened.

aebb04 • 1 year ago

Used quite a few pods in the last week and I am liking them so far! Smell really nice and seem to clean really well.

Monkey12 • 1 year ago

Have just tried these on a cold quick wash and my washing smells so fresh and clean saving water and energy at the same time

Dmytro • 1 year ago

I like my pods. It spells amazing!

wisey69 • 1 year ago

Suzanne • 1 year ago

Impressed with the results on a lower temperature

cazzs • 1 year ago

What a great project this was, we are a busy family with a young son who loves the outdoors and sliding in the mud. I can honestly say the 20 degree wash did the business on his caked in mud football clothes! Thank you #WashColderChallenge a great product and recyclable packaging too!
